- Interpreting Information
- In a passage, an author sometimes includes illustrations to help the reader better understand the text—they help the reader interpret the information in the text.
Some illustrations an author might use include:
Chart – a drawing that shows information in bars, pie charts, line graphs, etc.
Diagram – a drawing or illustration that identifies the parts of something or shows how something works
Time line – an illustration that shows the order of events in which something happened in history
